She was born Andrea Ramirez in San Gaspar, Mexico on November 10, 1917 and moved to the United States during the Mexican Revolution in 1926.
Ann was proud to be a "Rosie the Riveter". She worked at the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond, California welding ships during WWII. Later, she owned and operated the Personality Beauty Salon in Richmond, California and San Luis Obispo. She retired and moved to Lompoc in 1965 with her husband, Warren Johnson, who preceded her in death.

Ann enjoyed her family, watching historical documentaries/shows, and traveling. Her interests led her to become the family historian.

Donations to Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historic Park may be made in lieu of flowers.
